A further link is supplied by the Zulu belief that the magician's familiar is really a transformed human being ; when he finds a dead body on which he can work his spells without fear of discovery, the wizard breathes a sort of life into it, which enables it to move and speak, it being thought that some dead wizard has taken possession of it.

Throughout the night, the Zulus kept up a constant assault against the British positions ; Zulu attacks only began to slacken after midnight, and finally ended by 2: 00 am, instead being replaced by a constant harassing fire from the Zulu firearms-a fire that in turn only ended at 4: 00 am.
